This year will be the 190th Saint Patrick's Day parade in Savannah, Ga. It started as a religious holiday and many Irish Catholics still begin the day by going to mass. The Grand Marshall, Dave Roberts and his staff will exit The Cathedral Of Saint John The Baptist, after Saint Patrick's Day Mass and take their place as the leaders of this year's parade.

Oh- You are lucky to have some Spring weather coming to your area, Ginger. We will be bundled up head to toe for St. Paddy's Day here BUT we will have a new little grandbaby to keep warm,too. Love all your pictures- xo Diana

Dearest Ginger,That makes one happy to look at such a sunny day with St. Patrick's parade.We're not yet there though as the wind today was so cold and mean, making the RealFeel temperature below freezing again.I'm slowly catching up on things and it's good also for emotionally digesting everything from the past couple of weeks.Tomorrow an AT&T technician will hopefully tackle the on/off internet connection we're dealing with. Over the phone I was told that yes, indeed we'd been disconnected 1,000 over the past month. Considering that we were gone for 15 days that sounds horrible!It has been driving me nuts that's a fact.Hugs to both of you,Mariette

Hi Ginger , the parade is just beautiful and you are celebrating St. Patrick's Day in a grand style , just lovely . The Clydesdales is beautiful .Yes , Spring is right around the corner and I, like many others will be glad .Such bright colors everyone is wearing . Enjoy , I know your family will have fun .

That is quite the parade. We don't have a St. Patrick's Day parade here, but that is probably in part to it is usually pretty nasty weather still on March 17th. How fun and I am looking forward to spring too.

LOL - I think I can remember on one hand - the nice days we've had for St. Paddy's day - more often then not it's freezing cold and sometimes snowing - and we still have one of the largest parades in North America so I guess the Irish are a tough strain of people LOL !!!I'd like to spend it just once in a warm climate - must be AMAZING!!!xxx

Hi Ginger...Happy spring to you OMG I missed this post, what great pictures...Yep, it is Spring and gorgeous here in Orlando too, but my relatives in Minnesota have a snow warning for tomorrow....Yikkes!

Hi Ginger, I'm so bad about visiting blogs anymore but think about you all the time. I see you that this is the last post you wrote and it's back in March. I hope everything is alright with you and Bob, and that maybe you're just traveling or enjoying family. Let me know. Maybe you changed blogs and I want to know that too. Love & hugs...

Hi Ginger!!!!I'm so ddelighted to be able to get in contact with you at least through here. For some reason, I haven't been able to find your email address. My email got all botched up about a month ago {grrrrrr}

Thank you so much for all your kind words. I do hope you are doing okay and that Bob is feeling better. I think of you often and always remember you in my prayers. I hope one day you will be back to blogging, we miss you:)

Just in case I don't make it back, Ginger, remember I am thinking of you and yours this holiday season, Louise
